I normally travel with a 15 inch laptop but it was aging and I thought a bigger screen would be nice so long is it isn't too heavy. This chromebook coming in at under 4 pounds is several ounces lighter than my old 15 inch. Though not for everyone, it does come with a nice sleeve that is actually big enough to carry some additional essentials and provide protection if you don't want to lug around a larger case, or backpack. The screen is really the star of the show. Bright rich colors and lays flat which can be handy in certain configurations. This is not a touch screen although, the touch pad is large and responsive so not an issue. As for the keyboard, it is lit and you can change the color scheme. Though, the feel of the keys could be a little better, their size makes for comfortable typing or gaming control. Now, this is a chrome book so you might want to do a little research on gestures and shortcuts to avoid frustration. If this is new to you I can assure you transitioning is easy though for me scrolling is backwards from my windows device and that is taking longer to make automatic. Sound is good, lets say, more than adequate but not earth shattering. I use ear buds most of the time so that isn't much of an issue. The case is sturdy and has a very quality feel. When holding it by one corner, I do not see any flex. As for connectivity, having two USB C ports that can both charge is really convenient. Additionally with WiFi and Bluetooth you can connect to just about anything you might need. This is a solid device that would make a great first computer or a secondary unit for travel.

It’s not great for cloud gaming, or cloud gaming just isn’t ready yet. For daily use and casual enjoyment. It’s ALMOST great. Everything is high quality, especially the screen…but the trackpad and click is horrible, almost impossible to use. So be ready to use a mouse.

It was good while it lasted. Almost a year later, usb and usbc ports died. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
